Had a chance tonight to talk to the musher who had been lost during the Quest, as previously posted on here. His story of survival is quite incredible and I don't think I can do it justice, in the repetition of it. Suffice it to say, his first concern was the dogs, who with the Man Mat harness system, were secure , not tangled and lined out, safely waiting.
Also incredible is the story of the woman who was stranded on the mountain, slept in her sled, to wake up to someone knocking on it... unzipping her sled bag she saw a helicopter directly over her sled and a man saying "We're here to rescue you." Which they did, along with the stranded dog team, waiting for their musher. All ended well as we formerly noted, but to hear it from principals involved gives it a whole new look, and one more time points out the great relationship between mushers and their dogs.
